The movement toward such an ob servance of next Sunday probably orig- untod with the Cincinnati Times-Star , which thus explains its plan : "Tho idon hnd ita conception from the fact thnt the first anniversary of MoKiuloy'a death falls on Sunday. It was suggested by ministers with whom the Times-Star conferred thnt it would bo more practicable to hold memorial services at the morning hour , leaving all details to the churches themselves. Telegrams were sent to newspapers throughout the country yesterday after noon and to others , asking co-operation. From the responses there is no doubt that the memorial service idea is a national one. The movement has boon started in all cities in the states. "Tho first telegram from a governor was that of Governor A. D. Gaudier of Georgia and the next came the response from Governor George K. Nash of Ohio that he had issued n proclamation. "Tho other governors responded iu like manner and the newspapers through out the couutry replied uniformly that they approved the plan aud would ad vocate it. All the clergy , including throe resident bishops , pledged their best efforts. " THURSDAY TIDINGS. Mrs. E. 0. Mount was a passenger for Omaha today.

I was ono of the many who could hardly understand how you could straighten cross eyes without an operation and It seems very wonderful to mo that you have accom- pllohed such remarkable result * by the simple UBO of glasses. Charley's eyea are now perfectly straight when he Dr. Seymour , the Eye Specialist , wan one of the first to demonstrate that cross eyes could bo straightened with out an operation. From the World- Herald we clip the following : Has It ever occurred to you that there are not as many cross-eyed people ple todny as there were even five or ton years ago ? This Is a fact , and the reasons are very slmpl6 when you come to investigate them. How often we hear parents say thnt they do not wish to take the responsi bility of having their children's eyes straightened until the child is old enough to express n wish In the matter themselves , for fear the operation might Injure the sight ! This view of the matter Is wholly unbecoming to a parent who has the real welfare of the child at heart , for the child Is Euro to learn in later life that this neglect has cost the sight of an eye. The family phyHlclan has been to blame for many a sightless eye , as he has advised the parent to let the mat ter go and porhaus the eye will WISIIOH Known , mm when no wns reccl-7 to proceed with the granting of the license about a score of the young men of Madison appeared in the olllco and expressed themselves willing to swear thnt the would-bo groom wns not yet of ago and would require a guardian before the license could bo granted. The civic improvement comniittoo made the rounds yesterday and viewed the lawns , and flower and vegetable gardens which might como in for the prizes offered for neatness and thrift.

This does happen sometimes , but the occasion- are very rare , and it usually goes from bad to worse. You ask what Is the proper step to be tak n when a tendency to cross eye is first noticed In children. Take them at once to a thoroughly competent - tent oculist and have their eyes ex- amlnod with regard to the condition of sight , and I will promise you that you have done the wlso thing , for almost Invariably the eyes can bo very much relieved , and generally entirely straightened by proper treatment. Dr. Seymour , so well known In Oma ha , has undoubtedly done more to brighten the future of the cross-eyed children of this city than any other specialist in the west. Dr. Seymour will bo accompanied by a noted EAR , NOSE AND THROAT SPECIALIST. Improve this opportunity of seeing the doctors at homo.
